Today is Election Day in the US, which means millions of people – including the spawn of the candidates themselves – will be casting their ballots. Eric Trump, for example, proudly submitted his ballot. In fact, he was so proud that he decided to share it with everyone on Twitter!

The problem, of course, is that “ballot selfies” and their ilk are barred in some states – states like New York, where Eric Trump lives and appears to have cast his ballot, as evidenced by the words “Nueva York” at the top of the image. Besides New York, ballot selfies are banned in Michigan, Tennessee, Florida and New Jersey, among other states.
